I visited the Guadelupe Mountains National Park recently and in a ranch house museum I saw some very old photos of Apache ceremonial dances.

They were wearing head gear similar to that depicted on these and many Utah petroglyphs. Before seeing the photo, I was leaning toward space aliens,

I have long been fascinated by petroglyphs (ancient rock carvings). We have a lot of them here in our area too, about 130 miles north of the Coso Petroglyphs near China Lake.

These are from Sand Creek just out of Bluff UT on the San Juan River. There are many others just a few miles down stream I really like the idea of aliens because the glyphs are wide spread and were meant to record something very very important

The Maturango Museum in Ridgecrest operates petroglyph tours of Lower Renegade Canyon in cooperation with the Naval Weapons Center. They advise that a schedule of tours for 2010 will be posted on line in February.

A fascinating read is the book “In Plain Sight: Old World Records in Ancient America” by Gloria Farley. She records and interprets petroglyphs up to about 4,000 years old. Frequently found near rivers that could have been traveled by people coming from the Atlantic and Caribbean seas. Suggests visits by Phoenicians, and other ancient people.

I wonder how many of these were by bored settlers/cowboys/mountain men, created after seeing real ones.
